My husband and I set sail out of Boston on the Norwegian Spirit. This was our first Norwegian. We have cruised Royal Caribbean three times. We had hurricane Earl and Fiona to contend with. We boarded Friday but had to stayed tied up in port until Saturday morning and the storms passed by. That was fine - better safe than sorry... or safe than sick!
First of all - we want this review to be fair. ...
My husband and I took a cruise out of Boston to Bermuda with four friends in August of 2010.
First of all, embarkation was great. Quick, easy, effortless. However our cabins were not accessible so we were herded with the rest of the cruisers to the buffet dining area. I am aware that we could have opted to go to the Windows dining room, but we figured we'd go check out the buffet. I was ...
This was our second time on the NCL Spirit from Boston to Bermuda, but this time we cruised with our 3 young kids (6, 7, and 8). My parents were also on the cruise in a balcony cabin. Overall, it was still a good experience, but not without some problems.
Embarkation: After a lot of concern about whether Hurricane Danielle would wipe out our cruise plans, we proceed from upstate NY to the Black ...
We are a husband and wife from Saint John NB Canada, who along two friends, Joe & Jo-Ann, decided to drive to Boston for another trip to Bermuda. Our city hosts over 80 visits from cruise ships each year, 5 minute drive from our home but have to drive all the way to Boston to board a ship. We're hoping that one day, we'll be able to cruise out of Saint John.
Boston is always fun and a great ...
Background Information: We were passengers on the NCL Boston to Bermuda trip which departed on Friday, July 23, 2010, and returned on Friday, July 30, 2010. The ship was the Norwegian Spirit. We were travelling with 12 other family members ranging in age from 2 years (our youngest niece) to 70+ (my mother and her friend). My wife and I "splurged" and upgraded to a penthouse suite and we were very ...
I had read many reviews of this cruise before hand and my wife and I talked to people who had recently gone on this cruise. So, we didn't have high expectations going in. We were just looking for a cheap way to get to Bermuda with hopes of enjoying parts of the cruise. Happy that our expectation were low. The ship is nice enough, but shows many signs of being tired. Chipped paint,rust,faded ...
Received the cruise thru Harrah's Entertainment as a promotion to come to their casino
We could have chosen to cruise pretty much anywhere but picked Boston due to the fact that the port is 10 minutes from home
Embarkation was great! Checked in and on the ship in 40 minutes from being dropped off
Welcome aboard buffet at raffles was wonderful
Had a balcony room on the 11Th floor Good ...
We are a family of five,this was our sixth cruise as a family. Left our house ( 1/2 hour south of Boston )at 10:30am arrived ,unloaded, parked, and was at the buffet ( lol ) by 12:00pm. Norwegian did a great job with this embarkation process. Both rooms 1 Balcony and 1 inside stateroom were ready and our luggage arrived very quickly. Rooms were very small but clean. We never saw our cabin steward ...
We had the best weather and smooth sailing during this entire week. I enjoyed our voyage on the Spirit this year much better than last year. I think it was because I knew exactly what to expect as far as the size of the ship and the layout of everything. The food in the buffet was much better than I thought it was going to be and we actually even ate there for dinner a couple of nights. They had ...
This was are first trip on the Spirit. We had been on the Majesty to Bermuda 5 times before. Embarkation was the easiest it has ever been. We got to the pier and were directly taken to the Latitudes line. We were taken care of right away. After checking in we had to wait about ten minutes to board the ship. We were on board by 11:45. We like to take are own luggage on board, just so we have it ...
